Chapter 763
The Unexpected Event for the Beautiful CEO
Seeing Gao Yunshu's sincerity, Xu Bo'an did not refuse and said to Gao Yunshu, "Okay! Then you lead the way and we will follow behind."
After saying that, Gao Yunshu got into the car, while Xu Bo'an took Tang Muyang to drive his big red pickup truck.
After Xu Bo'an drove his car next to Gao Yunshu's car, Xu Bo'an greeted Gao Yunshu, and the two cars left the office building one after the other.
Sitting in the car, Gao Yunshu looked at Xu Bo'an, who was following behind them, and saw that he was driving a pickup truck worth more than 800,000 yuan, and the color was a unique red. Gao Yunshu felt a strange curiosity about Xu Bo'an.
Although Gao Yunshu's car was more than three times more expensive than Xu Bo'an's pickup truck, Gao Yunshu knew in his heart that ordinary people could absolutely not afford a car worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Moreover, it's important to understand that buying a car is completely different from buying a house. A house is for living in, while a car is just a means of transportation. Ordinary people will use their life savings to buy a house, but when it comes to buying a car, most people are only willing to invest a small portion of their assets and will never invest a large amount of money in a car, unless they are the kind of people who like to show off and save face, in which case they will invest most of their money in a car.
Xu Bo'an gives the impression of being mature and steady, not the kind of person who likes to show off or save face. Therefore, the fact that Xu Bo'an bought this car worth several hundred thousand yuan means that his assets are at least several times that of the car.
Coupled with Xu Bo'an's noble demeanor, Gao Yunshu suddenly felt a strong curiosity about him.
Since she had nothing better to do, she picked up her phone and opened Baidu, deciding to give it a try by typing in the three characters "Xu Bo'an".
To Gao Yunshu's surprise, Baidu actually showed Xu Bo'an's personal information. Gao Yunshu subconsciously clicked on it, and the homepage showed none other than Xu Bo'an, who was driving behind him at that moment.
Gao Yunshu quickly started browsing. He was shocked to see that Xu Bo'an's profile stated that he had served as the chief engineer and acting general manager of Dongjiang No. 2 Construction Company and was currently the chairman of "Kangtai Pharmaceutical Factory".
Even Gao Yunshu, the big boss, was completely shocked after seeing this information. Dongjiang Construction Group was a long-established large state-owned enterprise that had been entrenched in Dongjiang for many years. Xu Bo'an was able to become the chief engineer and acting general manager, so he was undoubtedly the best candidate to take over as the general manager of Dongjiang No. 2 Construction. It was impossible for someone who could reach this position to be considered highly capable. He must have a powerful background supporting him. Otherwise, for an ordinary person in a large state-owned enterprise like Dongjiang Construction Group, reaching the level of senior employee before retirement would already be the ceiling of their career.
As for "Kangtai Group", although it was said that it was on the verge of bankruptcy some time ago, it has miraculously turned the situation around recently. Not only did it not go bankrupt, but it also launched a new product with extremely powerful functions: hangover remedy. Although Gao Yunshu is not the top conglomerate in Dongjiang City, he can be considered a big entrepreneur in Dongjiang. He still knows this kind of news in the business world.
Moreover, she had heard that the hangover remedy from "Kangtai Group," which was said to be able to revive a company, was personally developed by the new chairman.
Based on Xu Bo'an's personal profile, he is an extremely outstanding figure even in the entire Dongjiang region. He not only has excellent management skills but is also a technical expert.
Although the Kangtai Group is still in its early stages, Xu Bo'an is a talent that is just as good as himself. However, when he introduced himself, he only mentioned his name and not his position, which was too low-key.
Thinking of this, Gao Yunshu, still shocked, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xu Bo'an, who was following behind his car, and couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for this young talent.
As expected, true masters are always unassuming. Luckily, I had inexplicably looked it up online earlier, otherwise, if I had suggested that Xu Bo'an become the head of my security department during dinner, I would have been incredibly embarrassed.
After figuring out Xu Bo'an's background, Gao Yunshu was even clearer about how to face Xu Bo'an later.
Then he didn't forget to instruct his driver, Xiao Li, "Xiao Li, be polite to Xu Bo'an later, treat him the same way you would me."
Hearing his boss's sudden words, Xiao Li, though puzzled, nodded and said, "Yes, I understand, Mr. Gao!"
Xu Bo'an, who was following behind, had no idea what Gao Yunshu was thinking at the moment. He just followed the car in front and drove forward. Before long, Xu Bo'an recognized that this road was the road to the Royal Dynasty Hotel in Linshan.
Xu Bo'an guessed that Gao Yunshu might be taking him to the Royal Dynasty Hotel. Sure enough, less than two minutes later, Xu Bo'an saw Gao Yunshu's car drive into the Royal Dynasty Hotel.
Xu Bo'an followed him inside. After parking their car, the two walked together into the Royal Dynasty Hotel.
Because Gao Yunshu had already called his secretary in the car to reserve a private room at the Royal Dynasty Hotel in advance, and the dishes had also been ordered in advance, after the driver greeted the front desk, the group headed upstairs to the private room.
After everyone was seated, the dishes were served in no time. Of course, the signature dish of the Royal Dynasty Hotel, "Truffle and Lingzhi Pigeon Soup," was also on the table. Gao Yunshu then said to Xu Bo'an and Tang Muyang, "Mr. Xu, I hope these dishes will suit your taste!"
Xu Bo'an said with a smile, "President Gao, you are too kind. A beautiful woman like you certainly has excellent taste. We are honored to be treated to such hospitality!"
Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Gao Yunshu looked at Xu Bo'an, smiled, and said, "Then let's drink to our hearts' content tonight, and not leave until we're drunk!"
Upon hearing Gao Yunshu's words, the driver wisely prepared to start pouring drinks for Xu Bo'an and the others.
Although Xu Bo'an still had to drive, he had hangover remedy on hand. Even if he drank too much, he only needed to drink a little hangover remedy, and the alcohol would disappear completely in less than five minutes. It wouldn't affect his driving at all, and he wouldn't be detected as driving under the influence.
Xu Bo'an then said, "Since we've met by chance, let's drink to our hearts' content today."
After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, the group burst into laughter. Knowing that Xu Bo'an's identity was not simple, Gao Yunshu was afraid he might drink too much and neglect their business. Seeing the driver had poured the drinks, he said to him, "Xiao Li, bring out the contract we prepared beforehand. Let's sign the contract first, then we'll drink!" Driver Xiao Li, upon hearing Gao Yunshu's instruction, took out two copies of the order contract and handed them to Xu Bo'an. Xu Bo'an glanced at them briefly and signed his name on each copy.
The driver then put one copy into his briefcase, while Xu Bo'an and his colleagues kept the other copy.
Xu Bo'an hadn't expected to sign a contract today, so he didn't bring a briefcase or anything to carry it. He simply placed the contract on the table next to him.
Now that the contract has been finalized, the next step according to procedure is to pay the deposit. Xu Bo'an is not only his family's benefactor but also such a powerful figure. Gao Yunshu said to Xu Bo'an without hesitation, "We have already signed the contract. Please give me a bank account number so I can instruct the finance department to give you the deposit directly. This will allow you to start the next steps!"
Xu Bo'an said very politely, "Mr. Gao, there's no rush about the deposit. We can talk about it tomorrow after we've had some drinks!"
Gao Yunshu smiled and said to Xu Bo'an, "That won't do. I can't keep things on my mind. If I have something on my mind, I won't be able to enjoy the drink!"
Xu Bo'an then stopped being polite and said to his cousin Tang Muyang, "Muyang, from now on you will be in charge of the company's affairs. Just use your bank account number!"
Tang Muyang then gave the bank card number to Gao Yunshu. Gao Yunshu sent the bank card number to the finance department and then called the finance department to say, "I transferred eight million to the bank card number I just sent you!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone. Tang Muyang was stunned. The company hadn't even opened yet, and there were already eight million in the account. It was practically like a windfall! Wasn't this the legendary case of winning before the game even started?!
Upon hearing this, Xu Bo'an said to Gao Yunshu, "Mr. Gao, are you mistaken? This order shouldn't cost that much! Even if all payments are settled, it will only be five million at most! Moreover, the contract states that a deposit will be paid first, and the balance will be paid after the goods are inspected."
Gao Yunshu certainly knew the price of the order, and he also knew that the contract stated that a deposit would be paid first, and then the remaining balance would be paid after inspection. However, that only applied to Zhu Xiaolei, the supplier.
Now that Xu Bo'an and his team have been confirmed as the second party to sign the contract, the contract content will naturally need to be changed accordingly. As for the discrepancies in the terms and conditions of the current contract, is that really a problem? We can just go back and make a new contract.
Just as they were talking, Tang Muyang's phone rang. He opened it and saw a message. It was a transfer notification, and sure enough, it was an eight followed by six zeros—a full eight million!
When Tang Muyang used to run his own company, all orders required a deposit first, and the balance would be paid only after the work was completed, delivered, and inspected by the other party.
Back then, collecting final payments was harder than climbing to heaven. The other party would either delay payment again and again, or try every means to find fault with what you did and squeeze the final payment to the minimum. In the end, after all the money was in your hands, after deducting expenses such as water, electricity, rent, and employee salaries, the company's profit was very small.
Some orders don't even require a deposit beforehand; they just ask you to work on credit, saying that you'll pay the rest after the work is done. But once it's finished, they find all sorts of excuses not to pay, and just keep dragging it out until it becomes a bad debt.
Tang Muyang had never encountered such a generous boss. Not only did the boss pay all the money in advance, but more importantly, the boss also gave him so much extra money. Where else could he find such a good deal? Tang Muyang was extremely excited when he saw so much money in his bank account.
However, Tang Muyang knew that Gao Yunshu had only done so because of his cousin Xu Bo'an, so this matter required Xu Bo'an's consent. Tang Muyang then tilted his phone screen towards Xu Bo'an so that Xu Bo'an could see the message!
Xu Bo'an saw that Gao Yunshu had indeed transferred eight million into the account.
Seeing their actions, Gao Yunshu knew that the money had arrived in the account. He smiled and said to Xu Bo'an, "You are my great benefactor. I believe you are a trustworthy person, so I transferred all the funds directly. This way, it will save both of us time and effort. As for the extra two or three million, consider it my gift to my benefactor!"
Upon hearing Gao Yunshu's words, Xu Bo'an politely replied, "Mr. Gao, I was just passing by and saw the emergency, so I helped out as a matter of course. I think anyone would have helped in that situation, so you don't need to be so polite with me! How about this, if you really want to repay me, the remaining amount from this order can be used to offset your next order. What do you think?"
Seeing the undeniable tone in Xu Bo'an's voice, Gao Yunshu didn't continue to refuse and said to Xu Bo'an, "Mr. Xu, you are too modest. In such an emergency, how could an ordinary person have the ability to catch my father accurately and unharmed? Even if someone else wanted to help, they wouldn't have your ability. I really admire you. Since you said it could be used as payment for future expenses, then we will do as you say. I hope we can cooperate often in the future!"
After saying that, Gao Yunshu stood up, picked up his wine glass, and said to Xu Bo'an again, "Come, Mr. Xu, this first glass of wine is for you, to thank you for saving my father the day before yesterday! Thank you!"
When Xu Bo'an saw Gao Yunshu toasting him, he also picked up his wine glass and stood up politely.
After clinking glasses with Xu Bo'an, Gao Yunshu said, "I'll drink mine, you can drink as you like!"
After saying that, he drank the wine in his hand in one gulp.
He then instructed the driver to pour him a second glass of wine. Gao Yunshu picked up the glass again and said to Xu Bo'an, "This second glass is my way of wishing your advertising company a grand opening and abundant wealth!"
After saying that, he drank the second glass of wine in one gulp.
"Finally, this third glass is a toast to our successful cooperation! I hope we will continue to be excellent partners!" (End of Chapter)
